Santoprene VAST surround, mineral-filled polypropylene cone, vented motor with nano-coated mesh screen, and integrated Deutsch/Amphenol plug-and-play connectors. Ultra-shallow 3.43 inch mounting depth suited to very space-constrained installations. IPX6 rated and ASTM B117 and G154 tested. Sold individually (1 each). Backed by a 2 year warranty. Product Overview The Rockford Fosgate M1D2-8 is an M1 series 8 inch dual voice coil (DVC) 2-ohm marine subwoofer in white, featuring Color Optix RGB LED illumination controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app (available on iOS and Android, sold separately). It shares the same platform, construction, and specifications as the M1D2-8B but is finished in white. The DVC 2-ohm voice coils give the VersaSwitch settings of 1-ohm (parallel) and 4-ohm (series). The VersaSwitch allows impedance to be changed between 1-ohm (parallel) and 4-ohm (series) by flipping a single switch, without any additional wiring. Integrated Deutsch/Amphenol connectors are moulded directly into the basket frame, providing error-proof plug-and-play connectivity for both the speaker signal and Color Optix RGB lighting. Conventional zinc nickel-plated marine grade brass spade terminals are also included as an alternative wiring option. The cone is injection-moulded mineral-filled polypropylene with UV inhibitors, co-moulded with a Santoprene VAST surround. Rockford Fosgate's patented VAST technique increases the effective radiating cone area by up to 25%. A linear synthetic fiber blend spider provides consistent excursion control. The 1.5 inch (39mm) Kapton voice coil former is sized appropriately for the 8 inch driver. The vented motor design with a water-repelling nano-coated mesh screen allows heat dissipation at high output levels while protecting the motor from water ingress. The 100% UV stable ASA plastic frame and grille resist discolouration in marine environments. Tested to ASTM B117 (500-hour salt/fog), ASTM G154 (500-hour accelerated UV), and ISO60068-2-64 vibration standards. Klippel Verified certification applied. Sold individually - one subwoofer per purchase. The black version is available as the M1D2-8B. Features & Benefits VersaSwitch - 1-Ohm or 4-Ohm Without Rewiring: The VersaSwitch allows the DVC 2-ohm voice coils to be configured to parallel (1-ohm) or series (4-ohm) by flipping a single switch. The 1-ohm setting maximises output from compatible mono amplifiers, while the 4-ohm setting suits amplifiers better matched to a higher impedance load. Most Compact M1 Marine Subwoofer - 8 Inch with 3.43 Inch Mounting Depth: The M1D2-8 is the smallest subwoofer in the M1 Color Optix marine range, with a 7.10 inch cutout diameter and only 3.43 inch mounting depth. It is purpose-built for vessels and compartments where the 10 and 12 inch M1 models cannot physically fit. Color Optix RGB LED Lighting - App Controlled: Ultra-bright wide-angle RGB LEDs are protected by optically clear UV stable encapsulation, controllable via the PMX-RGB controller and RF Connect app on iOS and Android. The PMX-RGB controller is sold separately. Integrated Deutsch/Amphenol Connectors - True Marine Ecosystem: Moulded in-frame Deutsch/Amphenol connectors combine speaker signal and Color Optix RGB lighting into a single error-proof plug-and-play connection. Zinc nickel-plated marine grade brass spade terminals are also included for standard wiring installations. Santoprene VAST Surround - UV and Salt-Fog Resistant: The Santoprene VAST surround is co-moulded to the mineral-filled polypropylene cone and attaches vertically using Rockford Fosgate's patented VAST technique, increasing the effective radiating cone area by up to 25% for more bass output from the same 8 inch driver. Vented Motor with Nano-Coated Water-Repelling Mesh Screen: The vented motor design allows heat to dissipate from the 1.5 inch (39mm) Kapton voice coil former at high output levels, while the nano-coated mesh screen prevents water from entering the motor assembly in spray-intensive marine environments. ASTM and ISO Tested - Purpose-Built Marine Construction: Tested to ASTM B117 (500-hour salt/fog), ASTM G154 (500-hour accelerated UV), and ISO60068-2-64 vibration standards.

Both are white M1 series 8 inch Color Optix marine subwoofers with identical construction, power handling, and physical dimensions. The only difference is voice coil impedance. The M1D2-8 has DVC 2-ohm coils with VersaSwitch settings of 1-ohm (parallel) or 4-ohm (series). The M1D4-8 has DVC 4-ohm coils with VersaSwitch settings of 2-ohm (parallel) or 8-ohm (series). Choose the M1D2-8 for amplifiers that deliver maximum power at 1-ohm or 2-ohm loads; choose the M1D4-8 for amplifiers better suited to 2-ohm or 8-ohm impedance. What impedance settings does the VersaSwitch provide on the M1D2-8? The M1D2-8 uses DVC 2-ohm voice coils. The VersaSwitch configures the coils to parallel (1-ohm total) or series (4-ohm total) without any rewiring. Use the 1-ohm parallel setting when pairing with an amplifier rated for 1-ohm operation for maximum power output, or the 4-ohm series setting when your amplifier is better suited to a higher impedance load. How does the M1D2-8 compare to the larger M1 series subwoofers? The M1D2-8 handles 150W RMS from an 8 inch driver with a 3.43 inch mounting depth, making it the most compact option in the M1 Color Optix range. The M1D2-10 handles 300W RMS from a 10 inch driver requiring a 4.23 inch mounting depth, and the M1D2-12 handles 300W RMS from a 12 inch driver requiring a 6.65 inch mounting depth. Choose the M1D2-8 when space is the primary constraint; step up to the 10 or 12 inch for more output and deeper bass extension. Is the M1D2-8 sold as a single unit or as a pair? The M1D2-8 is sold individually - one subwoofer per purchase. Two units will need to be added to the order if a dual subwoofer installation is required. Does the M1D2-8 come in a black version? Yes. The black version is available as the M1D2-8B, sharing the same specifications and construction.

Power Marine 1000W RMS Class-ad 5-Channel Amplifier Constant Power, C.L.E.A.N. Clip Detection, Punch EQ, Dual Fan Cooling, Element Ready, CEA-2006 Compliant. Product Overview The Rockford Fosgate TM1000X5ad is a 1000W RMS, 5-channel Element Ready marine amplifier built on Rockford Fosgate's proprietary Class ad technology platform delivering multi-channel amplification for complete marine, motorcycle, UTV, and vehicle audio systems from a single compact unit. Class ad is a multi-impedance design supporting 4-Ohm and 2-Ohm loads with Constant Power technology delivering up to 25% additional output power per channel over the rated specification. All five channels feature differential inputs accepting both high-level (speaker) and low-level (RCA) signals, with automatic turn-on detection via speaker-level input eliminating the requirement for a separate remote turn-on source. Integrated high pass and low pass crossovers, input channel configuration switches, and the patented Punch EQ circuit are all accessible from the top-mounted control panel. Marine-grade two-part epoxy conformal coating protects the circuit board from moisture, humidity, and element exposure. Compatible with the PLC2 remote level controller on the subwoofer channel. Key Specifications Total RMS power: 1000W (CEA-2006 compliant) ✓ Channels: 5 ✓ Amplifier class: Class ad (proprietary) ✓ Constant Power: Up to 25% additional output per channel ✓ Impedance: 4-Ohm / 2-Ohm multi-impedance ✓ Inputs: High level and low level (RCA), differential ✓ Auto turn-on: Via speaker-level input ✓ Remote out: Via high-level input mode ✓ Crossover: Integrated HPF and LPF per channel ✓ Input channel configuration switches: Yes ✓ Punch EQ: Yes (subwoofer channel) ✓ C.L.E.A.N.: Input and output clip detection with indicator LEDs ✓ PLC2 remote: Compatible (sub channel) ✓ Cooling: Dual fan forced induction + dual extruded heat sinks ✓ Thermal protection: Real-time thermal sensing ✓ Circuit board: Marine-grade two-part epoxy conformal coating ✓ CEA-2006 compliant: Yes ✓ CE compliant: Yes ✓ Construction: Discrete surface mount technology ✓ RCA connectors: Upgraded ✓ Per-channel power breakdown: Not specified — confirm with Rockford Fosgate Dimensions: Not specified — confirm with Rockford Fosgate Weight: Not specified — confirm with Rockford Fosgate Warranty: Confirmed (authorised dealer purchase required — specific terms TBC) Features & Benefits Class ad — 5-Channel Multi-Impedance Design Rockford Fosgate's proprietary Class ad platform is a multi-channel topology designed for 4-Ohm and 2-Ohm loads across all five channels simultaneously. Class ad delivers the efficiency needed to run a full speaker system plus a subwoofer channel from a single amplifier without excessive electrical load on the vehicle's charging system. 1000W RMS Total — Constant Power Technology The 1000W RMS is rated to the CEA-2006 standard. Constant Power technology pushes actual output up to 25% above the rated figure per channel — meaning each channel delivers beyond its nominal rating in real-world listening conditions, not just in spec-sheet peaks. C.L.E.A.N. Input and Output Clip Detection Separate input and output clip LEDs allow precise gain setting across all five channels — confirming the input gain stage is not being overdriven while simultaneously confirming the output stage is not clipping. This is critical on a 5-channel amplifier where gain mismatches between channels produce audible imbalances. Differential Inputs — High and Low Level All five channels accept either RCA (line-level) or speaker-level signals via the configurable Molex-style input harness. The differential input circuit rejects common-mode noise — reducing alternator whine and ignition interference induced via signal cables in complex wiring environments (marine, UTV, motorcycle). Auto Turn-On + Remote Out via Speaker Level Input When connected via speaker-level inputs, the amplifier detects signal and powers on automatically — no remote turn-on wire required. The remote input terminal converts to a remote output capable of triggering additional amplifiers in the system. Integrated HPF, LPF, Input Configuration Switches, and Punch EQ The top-mounted control panel provides access to the high pass and low pass crossover controls, input channel configuration switches (for bridging or speaker system topology changes), and the Punch EQ bass boost circuit on the subwoofer channel — all without requiring side or rear access to the amplifier after installation. PLC2 Remote Level Control — Subwoofer Channel The optional PLC2 wired remote provides cabin-accessible subwoofer level adjustment — useful in marine installations where the amplifier is mounted in a console, hatch, or remote compartment. Dual Fan Forced Induction + Dual Extruded Heat Sinks Active dual fan cooling combined with dual extruded aluminium heat sinks and real-time thermal monitoring maintain safe operating temperatures at full output across all five channels simultaneously — the thermal load of a multi-channel amplifier running a complete speaker system plus subwoofer. Marine-Grade Two-Part Epoxy Conformal Coating The two-part epoxy coating applied to all circuit board traces and components protects against salt moisture, humidity, and element exposure — appropriate for open-deck marine installations, UTVs, and motorcycles exposed to rain and spray. Compact Design — Multiple Platform Compatibility Suitable for hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, small cars, trucks, motorcycles, side-by-side UTVs, and marine applications — where a multi-channel system in a single compact amplifier is preferable to multiple separate units.

The per-channel power output at each impedance is not confirmed in the supplier data — pull from the official Rockford Fosgate TM1000X5ad datasheet before pairing speakers or subwoofers. Weight Not specified by the supplier. Contact Rockford Fosgate or your authorised reseller for confirmed unit weight and shipping data. Frequently Asked Questions What is Class ad amplifier technology? Class ad is Rockford Fosgate's proprietary multi-channel amplifier topology — a design that supports 4-Ohm and 2-Ohm loads with multi-impedance Constant Power. It is distinct from Class bd (used in the TM750X1bd mono amplifier) and is optimised for 5-channel marine and multi-platform applications. How is the 1000W RMS divided across the five channels? The total rated output is 1000W RMS to CEA-2006 standard. The per-channel breakdown (typically 4 full-range channels + 1 subwoofer channel) is not confirmed in the supplier data. Pull the per-channel power figures from the official Rockford Fosgate TM1000X5ad datasheet before selecting speakers and subwoofer. How does the auto turn-on work without a remote wire? When the amplifier is connected via speaker-level inputs, the differential input circuit detects the presence of an audio signal and powers the amplifier on automatically. This is particularly useful in marine, UTV, and motorcycle installations where running a separate remote wire from the head unit is impractical. Is the TM1000X5ad covered by warranty? Yes — Rockford Fosgate's warranty is confirmed active on this product. Coverage requires purchase from an authorised Rockford Fosgate dealer. Confirm the specific warranty period and terms with your authorised reseller at time of purchase. What vehicles and platforms is the TM1000X5ad designed for? The TM1000X5ad is Element Ready — built for marine vessels, motorcycles, side-by-side UTVs, hybrid and electric vehicles, cars, and trucks. The two-part epoxy conformal circuit board coating and robust thermal management are specifically chosen for installations exposed to moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes beyond standard in-car environments.

Rockford Fosgate RFW8R 8 AWG 250 Foot Frosted Red Wire Spool For professional installers requiring bulk 8 AWG positive cable without compromise on conductor quality, the RFW8R delivers 250 feet of full-specification PC-OFC copper across 735 strands on a single spool. Product Overview The RFW8R is Rockford Fosgate's 250-foot bulk spool of 8 AWG positive insulated wire, designed for professional installers and high-volume car audio builds where pre-packaged power cable lengths are impractical. Constructed from Pure Crystal-Oxygen Free Copper (PC-OFC) across 735 individual strands, it meets the full AWG specification at 8.36mm² cross-sectional area, ensuring the rated gauge is delivered in copper rather than compensated with thicker insulation. Conforming to CTA-2015 industry standards, the RFW8R guarantees the exact copper content required for the indicated gauge size across every metre of the spool, eliminating the undersized conductors common in non-compliant bulk cable products. The frosted outer jacket provides maximum flexibility for routing through tight installation paths despite the heavier gauge construction, while the BC-5W2 marine specification confirms suitability for both automotive and marine applications. 1-year warranty. Features & Benefits Pure Crystal-Oxygen Free Copper (PC-OFC): The conductor is made from oxygen-free copper with a pure crystal structure, minimising grain boundaries within the conductor that increase resistance. PC-OFC delivers lower resistance and better current-carrying performance than standard copper cable of equivalent gauge, maintaining consistent performance across the full 250-foot spool length. Full AWG Specification at 8.36mm²: The RFW8R meets the full 8 AWG specification at 8.36mm² of copper cross-sectional area. CTA-2015 compliance confirms that the rated gauge is achieved through conductor content rather than inflated insulation thickness throughout the entire spool. 735-Strand Construction: The conductor is built from 735 individual copper strands, providing exceptional flexibility for an 8 AWG cable. This very high strand count makes the cable significantly easier to route through tight spaces and chassis runs than equivalent-gauge cables with fewer, thicker strands, while also improving fatigue resistance under sustained vibration. 250-Foot Bulk Spool: The 250-foot spool format provides sufficient cable for multiple vehicle installations or a single complex build from a single purchase, eliminating the need to source multiple pre-packaged lengths and reducing per-metre cost compared to pre-packaged options. Frosted Outer Jacket for Maximum Flexibility: The frosted PVC outer jacket is formulated for maximum flexibility, allowing the cable to be routed through chassis runs, firewalls, and tight installation paths without kinking or cracking in cold conditions, even at the heavier 8 AWG gauge. CTA-2015 Compliant: Rockford Fosgate cables conform to the CTA-2015 industry standard, which specifies the exact amount of copper required to qualify for a stated wire gauge. This standard protects against manufacturers substituting thicker insulation for copper conductor content. BC-5W2 Marine Specification: The BC-5W2 rating confirms suitability for use in marine environments including boats and non-commercial watercraft, in addition to standard automotive applications. Technical Specs Specification Detail SKU RFW8R Conductor Material Pure Crystal-Oxygen Free Copper (PC-OFC) AWG Rating 8 AWG Cross-Sectional Area 8.36mm² Number of Strands 735 Conductors 1 Application Positive (Power) Length 250 feet Format Bulk Spool Jacket Colour Frosted Red Jacket Type Frosted outer jacket Compliance CTA-2015, BC-5W2 Marine Specification Warranty 1 Year Goes Well With The RFW8R is the bulk positive power cable complement to Rockford Fosgate's RFW8B 8 AWG ground cable and amplifier wiring kits. Used together, the RFW8R and RFW8B provide a complete matched positive and negative cable solution for 8 AWG amplifier installations cut to exact lengths. It is well matched to amplifier installations specifying 8 AWG power runs, including the PBR400X4D, R2-300X4, R2-200X2, and R2-250X1. The 250-foot spool format suits professional installers working across multiple vehicles or complex builds where power cable runs to the battery need to be cut to precise lengths. For complete amplifier power protection, Rockford Fosgate's circuit breakers in the RFCB range are the recommended complement alongside this cable. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between the RFW8R and the RFW8B? The RFW8R and RFW8B are identical in specification, using the same 8 AWG PC-OFC 735-strand conductor construction with a frosted jacket and CTA-2015 and BC-5W2 compliance. The only difference is application and jacket colour: the RFW8R is a positive (power) cable with a frosted red jacket, while the RFW8B is a negative (ground) cable with a frosted black jacket. The colour coding follows the standard automotive wiring convention of red for positive and black for negative. What is PC-OFC and why does it matter for a power cable? PC-OFC stands for Pure Crystal-Oxygen Free Copper. Standard copper wire contains oxygen and grain boundaries within the conductor's crystal structure that increase resistance. In a power cable, resistance in the positive run reduces the voltage available at the amplifier terminals under load, limiting maximum output and causing voltage sag during bass transients. PC-OFC's lower resistance ensures the full supply voltage is delivered to the amplifier as efficiently as possible. What does CTA-2015 compliance mean for a bulk power cable spool? CTA-2015 is an industry standard specifying the exact amount of copper conductor required to legitimately claim a specific wire gauge. Some manufacturers reduce copper content while increasing insulation thickness to reach the nominal diameter of a given gauge, resulting in cable that underperforms its stated rating. CTA-2015 compliance on the RFW8R confirms the full 8.36mm² of copper cross-section is present throughout every metre of the 250-foot spool, not just in sample lengths. Why does the RFW8R have 735 strands? A larger AWG gauge requires more total copper cross-section. To achieve the 8.36mm² required for 8 AWG while maintaining maximum flexibility, Rockford Fosgate uses 735 individual fine-gauge strands rather than fewer, thicker strands. The very high strand count distributes the copper content across more, thinner wires, which allows the completed cable to flex more easily despite its heavier gauge rating. This is particularly beneficial during installation when routing the cable through firewalls and chassis runs between the battery and the amplifier location. What does the BC-5W2 marine specification mean for automotive use? BC-5W2 is a marine-grade wiring specification indicating the cable is rated for use in boat and non-commercial marine environments where exposure to moisture, salt air, and vibration exceeds standard automotive conditions. For car audio use, BC-5W2 compliance means the cable is built to a higher standard of moisture and corrosion resistance than basic automotive power wire, making it suitable for vehicles exposed to wet conditions and for marine audio installations alongside standard car audio applications.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

It is well matched to amplifier installations specifying 8 AWG power and ground runs, including the PBR400X4D, R2-300X4, R2-200X2, and R2-250X1, all of which specify 4 AWG or 8 AWG power wire. The 250-foot spool format suits professional installers working across multiple vehicles or complex builds where ground runs to chassis earth points need to be cut to exact lengths. For complete amplifier power wiring, Rockford Fosgate's amplifier wiring kits and circuit breakers in the RFCB range are the recommended complement alongside this cable. Frequently Asked Questions What is the RFW8B used for, and why is it a single-conductor cable? The RFW8B is a single-conductor negative (ground) cable, designed specifically for the ground run between the amplifier chassis and the vehicle's chassis earth point. Unlike speaker wire which requires two conductors for the positive and negative speaker connections, a ground cable only requires a single conductor run from the amplifier to the nearest suitable chassis earth point. The black jacket identifies it as a negative cable. What is PC-OFC and why does it matter for a ground cable? PC-OFC stands for Pure Crystal-Oxygen Free Copper. Standard copper wire contains oxygen and grain boundaries within the conductor's crystal structure that increase resistance. In a ground cable, resistance in the ground path limits the amplifier's ability to return current to the vehicle's electrical system efficiently, which can cause voltage instability and reduce amplifier performance. PC-OFC's lower resistance ensures the ground path is as clean and low-impedance as possible. What does CTA-2015 compliance mean for a bulk ground cable spool? CTA-2015 is an industry standard specifying the exact amount of copper conductor required to legitimately claim a specific wire gauge. Some manufacturers reduce copper content while increasing insulation thickness to reach the nominal diameter of a given gauge, resulting in cable that underperforms its stated rating.
